Brut Tradition

The Brut Tradition from Napoléon combines half Chardonnay, with its freshness and finesse, and half Pinot Noir, with its power and body. The house ages the cuvée in the cellar for more than three years, while the appellation requires only 15 months. A dosage of 9 g/l gives roundness. In the glass it shows a pale yellow with old-gold reflections. The nose recalls fruit paste and hazelnut, and on the palate apricot and green apple meet a soft, elegant freshness.

At 8 to 10 degrees in a tulip glass, it makes a versatile aperitif. It also goes well with white meat dishes, especially those cooked with champagne, where it brings freshness and roundness together.
